The problem with this woman spouting racism, whereas it is more likely incompetence, is that it undermines and drives a divide.

Far better if she simply pushed the fact the software was not fit for purpose, less people would switch off and support her I suspect.

But people like her just cant help it. They do not represent the majority of Black people though, working in London I met loads and not one blamed anything on racism that I can recall even after a skinfull of beer!

This software is clearly responding to pre-programmed levels of light, not ethnicity.

You need a powerful, not to say unbalanced imagination to interpret that as being racially motivated.

Andy I was expecting a ticking off for the "so" rule! though I think this one might be valid.

TTT - // Andy I was expecting a ticking off for the "so" rule! though I think this one might be valid. //

Correct - the 'So' Rule only applies in response to a post - as in 'So what you;re saying is ...' and so on, following the formula of creation followed by contradiction.

Starting a post or an OP with a 'So' is fine by me.
